Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1366 Chirp Chirp Chirp

The Legend of Sword and Fairy series has become a hit.

Although computers were not common at the time, and internet cafes were only in their infancy, they still became a hit.

Although more and more games emerged later with the popularization of computers and the development of the gaming industry, none of them had the same impact as The Legend of Sword and Fairy, specifically referring to Chinese people.

One person plays, while a dozen or so people nervously surround and shout, waiting for hours just to take turns touching it.

The most classic aspect of this game is that there are no instructions or hints; players have to figure things out on their own. Even today, its replayability remains quite strong.

You might miss a house or miss a single line of conversation with an NPC, and you simply won't get through. The intricate and vast maze has no signs or minimaps; it all depends on rote memorization, exploration, and a bit of luck.

This is the most popular domestically produced game, bar none.

……

After Zhang Xiu's recommendation, Xiao Wei and Chen Hui became engrossed in the game for several days until Chen Xiao and Xiao Hong took over the computer, and even Qin Xuemei was having a great time playing with it.

"Xiaowei, can you two stop just hanging around all day? You two have been acting strangely these past few days. Quickly think again, is there anyone who's missed something?" Xiaowei's mother tapped each of their heads with her finger.

Xiao Wei rubbed his forehead, which had been rubbed raw by a finger, as he looked at the list and tallied up the guests to be invited to the full moon celebration.

I originally came to Kyoto to avoid trouble, but since it's a Chinese tradition, I still have to invite some people, otherwise it would be considered impolite.

Human complexity has always surpassed human science and thought, always exceeding your grasp by just a little bit.

Weddings, baby's one-month celebration, birthdays, and many other joyful events, festivals, and memorable moments in life all require sharing with others; this is the nature of community.

As for those who receive the sharing, some are genuinely congratulating and feeling honored, some are smiling on the outside but cursing on the inside, and some are simply passively accepting it because they feel obligated to accept it.

However, if you don't inform or share anything that happens, you'll inevitably be subjected to all sorts of slander and defamation, with people thinking you look down on them. Those who are unwilling to share will be the most vocal in their insults.

Some people you don't even need to actually offend; they can imagine it all, and then they'll harbor deep hatred and target you at every turn, wanting to kill you. And you'll be completely clueless and know nothing about it.

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui have also fallen into the "Chinese Paladin" pit these past few days. The feeling of being unable to stop is simply too torturous. Fortunately, Lele is there, otherwise they would definitely have entered a state of cultivation.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Hong's seemingly tough demeanor; it's all an act. When it really comes down to it, Xiao Hong can't control him at all.

Hi~~.

"ha."

"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp."

"Ugh—"

Xiao Wei's mother glared at Chen Hui, who was still operating the device: "What kind of weird thing is this? You're only allowed to play with it for a little while each day from now on. Don't you want to hurt your eyes?"

"Save, save, I'm saving, I'm done playing." Chen Hui saved the game with a grin, then reluctantly closed it.

"When Xiaoxiu comes back, this girl should be cleaned up. What a mess she's made." Xiaowei's mother gave one of them a warning look and turned to leave.

"This game is addictive." Chen Hui stretched and loosened up. "I really need to control myself. I've been dreaming about mazes these past few days, it's too addictive."

Xiao Wei looked at the list and added some details with a pen: "Could you help me check if I've missed anything? Do you have anyone you want to invite?"

Chen Hui sat down next to Xiao Wei, leaned on Xiao Wei's shoulder, and looked at the list: "There's no one else. Our circle is the same, it's all the same number of people."

Xiao Wei said, "Didn't you ask the school about graduating early? Did they ask?"

Chen Hui nodded: "I asked, and they said I don't have to come in the middle of the year, I can just attend the graduation ceremony later. Late December."

"There's no exam, right?"

"No need, but you do need to submit a paper. I've already found someone to write it."

"Let's go back to Fengtian after we finish the drinks. Do you have anything else to do? You've been wandering around here for a year, and it's almost the end of the year. You can't be without things to do over there."

"Okay, let Xuemei take care of the child. The four of us will go back. Is Xiaohong planning to go back to work before the New Year?"

"I didn't ask, but I guess I can't go. Maybe after the New Year, the baby will be almost weaned, and I won't need to hold her hand anymore."

"Broken off so early?"

"That's fine, six months is enough. Then we can get formula and stuff."

"Hehe, that's wishful thinking. I doubt the old lady will allow it."

……

Upon inquiry, it turned out that only Xiaowei, Xiaohong, and Chen Hui had returned to Fengtian. Chen Xiao wasn't going back; he was going to spend the New Year here anyway and didn't want the hassle. Besides, he was now a boss, with his own business, and was planning to expand.

Beibei isn't going back either; she's attending kindergarten here. Next year she'll be going straight to primary school, so we can't keep doing this sporadic approach. Xiaowei's mom is a little reluctant to let her go; she's been taking care of this child every day for years.

"Oh dear, we have Lele, who's much harder to take care of than that one. You can't possibly have two at once, can you? Besides, you'll see her in a few months, and you can't not go back for winter break, can you?"

While Lele wasn't around, Xiaowei and Xiaohong tried to persuade Xiaowei's mother together.

Xiaowei's mother is emotionally detached, and she knows why. In fact, most of the time in life, we know what's going on, but we just can't get over it emotionally.

"Take good care of the child, don't let anything happen to him, or I'll kill you if he gets thin." Xiaowei's mother glared at Xiaowei and said this.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take good care of him, he'll definitely be healthy and chubby."

"So you've gone back? Is Jiwei going back too? Your sister just got married and you're already separating the two of them? Oh dear, I can't stop worrying about her. Xuemei, everything seems fine, but there's still no sign of pregnancy."

Hong, why don't you and Chen Xiao get together sometime and take Xue Mei to the hospital for a proper check-up? You two can get checked out, and Xue Mei can also be checked to see if there's anything wrong with her.

If there's a problem, let's figure it out quickly. Dragging it out day after day isn't going to work; it's making me anxious.

Xiao Hong quickly accepted the order: "Okay, I'll talk to Chen Xiao tomorrow. Don't worry, Mom, I guarantee I'll complete the task."

At this moment, the old lady entered her emotional rambling mode, and all her worries, anxieties and troubles came out at once. Who would dare to disobey her?

Xiaowei's mom raised her hand and patted Xiaohong on the forehead, then laughed herself.

She sighed, looked at Lele, and said, "I'm getting old. I'm watching you all grow up day by day, and the kids will be up soon. Even if I have to worry about you, I won't be able to worry for more than a few days."

I hope you're all doing well; then our whole family will be alright. This is something I never expected.
